    hm he means to set $server_options.protect_parent to 1.. that's how you can
    make a verb wiz-only... you can edit it in the database by making a

    they don't, really.. @rename calls player:set_name, as well as the editor,
    set_name runs with wizard permissions to change the name, so you might want
    to start there.
